God of War Reboot revealed at Sony’s E3 2016 press conference

Sony kicked off its E3 2016 press conference in style, with an orchestra session leading up to the reveal of the God of War reboot. The PS4 exclusive puts Kratos in a brand new storyline and setting. During the gameplay footage, he is seen accompanied by his son.

The first ever gameplay footage for the God of War reboot can be seen below.

The game is now played from a third-person perspective, as opposed to the fixed-camera viewpoint of the previous iterations in the God of War series. It appears to be more of an action-adventure game than the previous ones were, with a potentially greater emphasis on exploration.

Kratos is seen wielding an axe along with a bow, which he hands over to his son from time to time in an effort to train his young one for the days ahead.

Stay tuned for more information on the God of War reboot as it becomes available. In the meantime, share your thoughts on the first ever gameplay footage in the comments below.
